In this episode Darren Butler and Transition Year students from Colaiste Cois Siuire who are leaving their mark on their community, they gathered questions as part of a Mooncoin Parish Drug Awareness Programme from their fellow students to compliment the ongoing work of the teachers and will be part of the Information & Education module we will complete with the Transition Year in 2023.
The questions range from signs of addiction to why do people take drugs? And many more interesting questions in between. The Podcast is part of the ongoing work of the Mooncoin Drug Initiative.

Family Addiction Support Network
The Family Addiction Support Network (FASN) understand that there are large numbers of families affected by drug use living in the North East Region area yet they believe that the amount of family members availing of support is relatively low. As a Network they are developing an open, friendly, accessible and non-judgemental family support service so that no family has to live with the isolation that drug use can bring.
